Brother HL5250 vs. Cups (Again)

[Greg Woods]

You might want to try looking at www.linuxprinting.org, which has, among
other things, driver recommendations for specific printers and lists of
features that are known to work/not work in Linux. For this printer, it
ends up pointing to:

http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-5250DN

They are recommending a Brother-specific driver that you need to
download and install.
